Thousand Hills State Park, State park in Adair County, Missouri, US
The 3,000-acre Thousand Hills State Park features Forest Lake, a 573-acre reservoir created by damming Big Creek for recreation and water supply.
The park was established in 1952 after the Laughlin family donated their Thousand Hills Farm land to create a public recreation area.
Native American petroglyphs dating back 1,500 years are displayed in an enclosed observation center, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The park maintains 57 campsites across two campgrounds, seven duplex cabins, and multiple trails for hiking and mountain biking throughout the grounds.
Forest Lake provides opportunities for fishing, swimming, and boating, while a marina offers equipment rentals for water activities.
